Question about Permissions behavior (disable all and enable one)

I am wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
I want to disable all permissions from Essentials and then enable one feature. Like so

Code:

permissions:
- -essentials.*
- essentials.home

I don't know if the permission node essentials.home is really a thing; It's just an example.
When I'm adding this to the config, I expect to be able to /home without any problem, but it's not the case.
